Profile: Well, he's no Chase Utley. There are worse players than Wilson Valdez, who played slightly above-average defense and below-average offense at second base while Utley was injured. But few of them are forced into a starting role. No one could have fully replaced Utley, a Hall of Famer still in his prime, and Valdez was worth about a win. That's probably about the best he'll ever do: he’ll turn 33 in May, and he's pretty much the very definition of a replacement player. (His career minor-league OPS is .687. His OPS last year was .667.) It's the most he's ever played in the majors -- his 363 PA last year were nearly equal to the 369 PA he had accrued since making his brief debut in 2004 -- and everything about his performance in the Majors and minors suggests that last year was probably about as good as he is capable of being. For the Phillies' purposes, that's good enough: every team needs its share of one-win bench players making the league minimum. But fantasy owners don't. (Alex Remington)

The Quick Opinion: Every team needs its share of one-win bench players making the league minimum. But fantasy owners don't.

Profile: Wilson Valdez has played for twelve different baseball organizations, and there’s a good reason why: what he can do is pretty easy to find. He’s a utility infielder who can be relied on to not totally butcher second base, third base, and shortstop in a pinch -- but doesn’t bring much of anything to the table with his bat. He hits for poor average, walks almost never, and if he happens to hit a home run, watch for flying pigs. You really ought to be aiming higher than Valdez on your fantasy team unless injury brings him a starting role -- and even then, his value is only in the deepest of leagues. (Michael Barr)

The Quick Opinion: I would recommend you start Valdez at shortstop if I played in a money league with you.
